If Holloway rocks camp opening lineup

Created by: Oilyboy
Team: 2021-22 Edmonton Oilers
Initial Creation Date: Aug. 1, 2021
Published: Aug. 1, 2021
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
Only small winger in the top 9 would be Yamo, and he's physical for his tiny size. Pretty great look.

Korpisalo is not an upgrade on Koski, except maybe in the playoffs if he plays, which is quite important. But, the 3 mil saved here, if it can equal a signing like Ryan Murray, is worth it. Both need to go hand in hand.

Why on earth are you doing that clb trade? Your saving about 3 million in cap, granted. But you're getting the likely inferior or at best equal goaltender....

If the retention comes with a Murray signing on LD, then I think it helps the overall balance. Not saying I love it, but it is something I could live with and that I bet Holland is looking at. With another decent LD added, the defence may help Smith and Korpi look better

To sign Ryan Murray. Again, I don't love it, but I'm just trying to look at what I think Holland might think is a solution...and trying to make it look salvageable lol.

Korpisalo is one of the the few goaltenders in this league worse than Koskinen.

If he plays for Edmonton you will be pleasantly surprised.

Well you still have 1.6 mil in cap room above. Just waive Russell or lagesson and you can keep Koskinen and more importantly your first and sign Murray for 2.5 which may be enough.

The main point is korpisalo is a bad goalie. I'd talk to Dallas about one of their goalies or Columbus about Elvis.

Why? He's legitimately been a quite bad NHL goaltender (tie for worst in the league among goalies with 120 NHL GP since he joined the NHL). And it isn't that he's had a bad team, Elvis has looked good behind the same team, and Bob won two vezinas. He has gotten hot a couple times and had incredible runs, but that ignores the fact that the majority of the time he is a crappy goalie.
